MaCHINE LayOUT GUIDE
4.1 Description of machine
The function of the LM-5.5 Pressure Sealer
is to feed unfolded forms from a stack, fold
them either once or twice, seal the cohesive
edges and place them into a receiving tray.
Forms can be ‘C’, ‘Z’ or ‘V’ in standard fold,
or Eccentric ‘Z’, and also ‘C’ or ‘Z’ fold with
pressure seal return envelope. There is also a
handfeed facility to seal pre-folded forms; this
feature may also be used to seal a diverted
form. The output rate of the machine is 5500
pieces per hour.
Each time the machine is switched on it will
calibrate for double documents. Subsequently,
if more than one form is fed (eg. two together),
these will be diverted out of the slot at the rear
of the machine before reaching the sealing roll-
ers. The form used for calibration will also be
diverted in this way (which allows checking of
folds and ensures that only a single document
was fed). A calibration button on the control
panel is also provide to allow calibration to be
performed at any time, such as if the paper
size changes.
A jog function is provided, which operates the
machine in short ‘spurts’ in order to help clear
jammed forms through the paper path. A jam-
clearance lever is also included for stubborn
jams. A fault number (in the form ‘FLt nn’)
will appear on the control panel, and this will
be accompanied by a message describing the
fault, the description of which will be shown
scrolling on the display. These faults are also
shown in Section 14 of this document.
The display also indicates the forms count
when the machine is running, and the counter
may be reset to zero at any time, eg. when
starting a new job. Note that if the button is
pressed by mistake, the count can be recalled
by pressing the button again.
